Day 4: Ribbons and Bows
Honestly, this wasn't how Clint expected his day to go. One minute he was walking down the hall, the next minute he was tied up with red ribbon and shoved into an air duct. If he wasn't so annoyed, Clint would have been expressed. "Are you sure you aren't a ninja?" Clint asked.
Kai merely smiled.
"So why are we in the ducts again?" Clint asked.
"My wife needs help decorating the tree," Kai answered.
"That doesn't explain why we're in the air ducts," Clint pointed out.
Kai untied Clint and pointed out of the vent. "The tree is nine feet tall and there was no way I was letting my wife climb a wobbly ladder."
Clint peered out to see Hotaru at the bottom, decorating the bottom half the tree with golden tinsel, lights and silver ribbons and blue bulbs. Thor was working alongside her, starting a level beyond Hotaru's reach. He let out a low whistle. "Stark pulled out all the stops didn't he?" Clint looked at Kai. "And how exactly do you want me to help?" Clint asked.
Kai handed Clint a bow and several arrows with Christmas lights dangling from it. "You aim to that air duct across the room from us. I'll shoot it back to you and if our aim is good enough we will be wrapping the lights around the tree."
"You're serious?" Clint asked, gapping.
Kai gave him a leveled stare. "Do you have any other suggestions? I'm all ears."
Clint had a few ideas, but they all resulted in the tree falling over or catching on fire if they weren't careful. Or involved lifts and scaffolding, which Clint had feeling, Hotaru didn't want being up in her lobby.
"No," Clint said, shoulders sagging. "Why did Stark buy such a big tree?"
"At least it isn't the blinding gold alloy one from last year."
"What?"
